Default Compressor Outlet leaking oil.

Turbo has 5k miles on it. seals seem to be good. It was leaking about 2 months ago, found out that the intake pipe was getting blowby from the vc. put a filter on the line and it stopped. checked it the other day and its leaking slowly. my feed line doesnt have an restricter. i have an edelbrock turbo kit on a ej8 d16y8 motor. running 7psi. thanks

i have a crank case vent setup, but it recently got cloudy/milky and i think it had moisture in it and froze, (20 degree weather in alaska). So you think since its not venting it could be drawing oil thru the intake again? oil return line has been ziptied to have a straight shot to the oil pan. the turbo is a gt28rs.

When you clocked the turbo, did you tighten the bolts correctly. I have seen them come loose.
